SINGAPORE: Singapore Exchange (SGX) has again won the “Exchange of the Year” accolade at the FOW Asia Capital Market Awards 2020 for its leadership in supporting clients with a pan-Asia waterfront of derivatives, amid heightened uncertainty in global markets.
SGX’s focus on customer-first execution enabled market participants to manage risk round-the-clock, even as the spread of COVID-19 from Asia fanned worldwide volatility in equities, currencies and commodities. FOW, a leading publication for the global futures and options industry and part of London-based Global Investor Group, announced its award winners today.
Michael Syn, Senior Managing Director and Head of Equities at SGX, said, “Customer choice is the way we have built up our service offering. This year, with the impact of the pandemic felt early on in Asia, our ability to adapt quickly has proven critical in helping clients benefit from an up-to-date and distinctive pan-Asia waterfront of derivatives, across multiple asset classes. We look forward to creating even more value for the market community.”
In September, SGX was awarded “Asia-Pacific Derivatives Exchange of the Year” by GlobalCapital for a seventh consecutive year, as well as “Best Exchange for FX” at the FX Markets e-FX Awards 2020.
